DUBAI.- RM Sotheby’s announced its continued partnership with Flat 12, Dubai’s premier car community, as it celebrates the sixth anniversary of the Grand Picnic on 15 February 2026. Firmly established as a highlight of Dubai’s automotive calendar, the Grand Picnic will once again transform Safa Park into a curated showcase of over 1,000 rare, vintage, and collectible vehicles.

The 2026 edition promises an immersive day for automotive enthusiasts, bringing together rare classic cars, unique motorcycles, and standout luxury vehicles from across the GCC. Visitors will be invited to experience the cars up close while enjoying a relaxed, community-focused atmosphere, complemented by food trucks, refreshments, and the ever-popular vintage outfit competition.

RM Sotheby’s will present a selection of exclusive cars available for private sale, welcoming collectors and enthusiasts to engage with the brand and discover exceptional automobiles in an informal yet refined setting.

Extending this same philosophy of craftsmanship, rarity, and lifestyle, Sotheby’s Handbags brings its creative, feminine flair to the Grand Picnic in Dubai, showcasing Hermès picnic-themed wicker bags, including the iconic Mini Kelly Picnic.

First introduced in 2011, the Mini Kelly Picnic blends Hermès’ legendary leather craftsmanship with woven wicker, evoking the charm of an elegant basket and the joy of outdoor gatherings.

At the Grand Picnic, Sotheby’s celebrates luxury, heritage, and playful sophistication, perfectly in tune with the spirit of this al fresco event.

Spanning over 150 acres of lush green space, Safa Park offers a distinctive backdrop for an event that goes beyond a traditional car show. The Grand Picnic has become a celebration of style, community, and a shared passion for automotive excellence.

“We’re delighted to continue our partnership with Flat 12 for the Grand Picnic’s sixth anniversary,” said Duccio Filippo Lopresto, Managing Director of RM Sotheby’s Middle East & Africa. “The event’s strong sense of community and genuine passion for automotive culture closely reflect our values. We look forward to welcoming collectors, enthusiasts, and friends of the brand for another memorable edition.”
